Question

Divide. Write the quotient in lowest terms 2 1/2 divided by 2 2/3

Answer 1

Answer:

15/16.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 1/2 = 5/2 and 2 2/3 = 8/3 so we have:

5/2  /  8/3      Invert the 8.3 and multiply:

= 5/2 * 3/8

=  15/16.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is

$\frac{15}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2 \frac{1}{2} \div 2 \frac{2}{3}$

To solve the expression convert the mixed number to an improper fraction

That's

$2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}$

$2 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{3}$

So we now have

$\frac{5}{2} \div \frac{8}{3}$

To solve this change the division sign to multiplication sign and reverse the second fraction

That's

$\frac{5}{2} \times \frac{3}{8}$

Multiply

We have the final answer as

$\frac{15}{16}$
